A complete cop-out over systemd, we're hurting from the bugs and the architecture, not the change of itself. Unfortunate, I'd hoped for more than a standard systemd marketing blurb cut and paste.
He answered the question. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't make his answer a "cop out". What were you expecting? Red Hat created Systemd. It is their baby. They are not going to abandon it. If it is so important to you, then install Slackware, and you will not only be able to tweak your init system, but you can tweak anything else you want, and experience pure raw Linux.
It's a cop out because it's lies and misdirection. "The problems an init system needs to solve today are different from the ones that traditional init systems were solving in the 70's, 80's and even the 90's." No, it's doing the same goddamned job. "This also makes it easy to use cgroups to configure SLAs for CPU, memory, etc." No, since redhat used boilerplate for all initscripts, it would have been easy to insert the simple shell commands to create cgroups and put daemons into them into every initscript.
You have a reading comprehension problem combined with literally zero knowledge of systemd. I have investigated it thoroughly as well as put in the relatively minimal effort to understand and leverage it. Everything he said was spot on.
Why would I re-explain It? Whitehurst broke it down quite nicely, and even provided links you are clearly too lazy to follow. Every myth that you hear over and over again from the people who are claiming to be Linux experts, and anti-systemd, is exposed in that write-up. The truth, I suspect, is that these idiots either are anti-Linux. The other option is that they are woefully incompetent. People aren't leaving Linux for the BSDs, and if anyone would know Whitehurst would. And despite the claims that they
